Isaiah 55:8-9 comes to mind.

Ok, studied this verse a little more…
It seems like the Israelites started out following God on their journey to the Promise Land by doing exactly what Moses commanded. Then, as seems to be human nature, they Started making changes in God’s direction. Maybe just little changes, but changes. Moses knew these little changes would lead to big changes, and God did not want anything changed at all in their worship of Him.
Why do we think we know better than God what he wants (I say “we” because I know I am also guilty of that sometimes)? I don’t know for sure. In my case, it’s probably because I have listened to wrong teaching most all of my life, and did not do sufficient checking in the Bible to make sure it was true. Also, using my judgement, sometimes things just seem so perfect and right that I can’t believe God would disapprove of it. There are still things I am trying to figure out as to whether they are right or wrong. I guess I take the view if the Bible is “silent” then God must not be opposed to it (or he would tell us). Maybe it’s just that I like it and want to do it (surely not). I don’t know…these things are hard.
